Authorized Bootleg: The Flying Burrito Brothers (Live At Fillmore East, New York, N.Y. – Late Show, November 7, 1970)

This version of the Flying Burrito Brothers, the one without Gram Parsons and Chris Etheridge, was one strong country-rock band that never received the same credit due to Parsons’ cult following. It’s true Parsons was an enviable country singer, but it was this line-up that pulled it off live. Any concert with “Sneaky” Pete Kleinow on pedal steel and Chris Hillman leading the way performing tunes such as Dave Dudley’s “Six Days On the Road” and Mick Jagger and Keith Richards’ “Wild Horses” is one to hear. Future Eagles guitarist Bernie Leadon is one tough customer and he throws his fresh passion into the performance as well. The Burritos were meant to play honky-tonks more than a rock club like the legendary Fillmore and they play like speed-fueled truckers through much of the set, as “Christine’s Tune (A.k.a. Devil In Disguise)” breaks the land-speed record and tracks such as “Lazy Days,” “Dixie Breakdown” and “Willie and the Hand Jive” show the band’s love for playing, pure and simple.
